My westinghouse cabrio washer displays Ld error code. I put it on rinse and drain and now it is not doing anything...just humming. It will not drain, turn off or anything. I have to unplug it in order to turn it off.

Friend,ngfam1 At your service!When it is a code the machine is telling you that there is a fault and the electronic system needs to be diagnosed by a trained tech.My advise is,You spent enough money buying that Cabrio to be experimenting and guessing and buying expensive parts for it!Let the tech fix it 123 and your done. It may not have needed the drain pump and now that money could have covered the service call!

If so here is a good company that's found nation wide.A&E Factory Service A&E has schedulers available to take appointments 24/7And they do warranty work too, for most manufactures!1(800) 905-9505

the ld code means a long drain, what you probably have is something blocking the drain pump.you can get to the drain pump from the back of the unit and it will be the pump on the left as you face the back. you will need to remove the hose going into the pump and be ready for water to come out. sorry but you need to check inside the hose as there will be something blocking it. like a coin or some lint or a small sock.when you get the item out of the hose then it should work again. you do not need to reset the control. once it knows the unit is draining properly it will be ok.

Is there water in the bottom of the tub? If yes then open back of washer and remove drain pump (on left side) and pull off of tub and clear whatever is blocking its impeller.
If the water is all gone and drained but pump stays on for several minutes and then gives "LD" fault then open back and check the small clear tube that is attached to the tub. Make sure is not blocked with debris and check tube and tub for anything that could block the small clear tube. If these are ok then remove 3 screws in back of the control panel, pull open control panel and check the clear tub all the way up from the tub to the washer controller board (computer) make sure it is not kinked or disconnected. If not then the problem is most likely the pressure sensor on the (computer). This unit will have to be replaced.
You can test the sensor by doing the following: 1. When the "LD" fault comes on start by pressing the pause button. then pull the clear tube off of the computer board. Then attach a tight fitting drinking straw over the sensor. Press the start button and wait for 60 seconds - If the washer does not start the spin cycle on its own after the 60 seconds then **** on the drinking straw that you attached to the pressure sensor earlier. The sucking action should reset the sensor thus telling the computer that the water is drained and it will start the spin cycle. Just remember if you have to do this to get the washer to spin - that means the sensor is damaged most likely from moisture traveling up the tube over time. The computer board will need to be replaced. I believe it costs $205 without shipping. Hope this helps.

I found that this washing machine has an electrical pump
that drains the water, not like other machines that use the belt to turn the
drum and also the pump at the same time.This motor is a low voltage motor/pump and anything that gets caught in
the pump propeller will cause the draining to stop and bring up codes like Ld (long
drain) Before calling in a service man try inspecting the pump first, tilt the
machine to the side and take out as much water as possible, ideally you want
all the water out of the machine. Next lay the machine on its side and remove
the bottom plate, you will see four screws holding the black plastic pump
housing onto the motor with the hoses attached to it (no need to remove the
whole pump) remove the screws and you should be able to see inside the pump, if
there is anything rapped around the pump shaft or propeller you will need to
remove it. Replace the housing and make sure you secure the screws, replace the
bottom plate and try the machine. hope this helps.

The Ld code is Long Drain. You might have a clogged hose. I had this problem once with mine. We had to empty the washer by hand and turn it on its front. Make sure you unplug it first! There is an elbow that I think was attached to the pump. We popped it off and it was clogged with dog fur (from washing dog bedding). Cleaned it out and put it back on and that took care of it. I found the diagram of the system online and suggest you look for it too - my memory isn't what it used to be - it'll tell you what to look for and where everything is. It could be the pump, too, but hopefully just a clogged hose.

Hi There OK here's something you can read to help you with. I hope this helps.
